In our 2017 GCSE results 93% of students passed their English and math’s and 63% achieved the challenging English Baccalaureate. King’s is a vibrant school that really cares about its staff, this position is available due to the expansion of our provision.

We are unique in our specialism in that we seek to develop leadership skills in our students, combined with great academic performance.
